Transport

Community Car Scheme

The Heacham & District Community Car Scheme continues to provide transport for people living within the catchment area of Heacham, Snettisham and Dersingham.  The fee charged is 30p per mile, minimum £1 per trip.  Although the majority of journeys are for medical purposes, transport is also provided for local shopping needs etc.  However, it is not intended as a cheap taxi service but more as a last resort for people who find it difficult to make alternative arrangements.

Additional volunteer drivers would be very welcome.  The amount of time this takes up is largely down to the driver and therefore need not involve a big commitment.  However, a mileage allowance is paid and the work can be rewarding.

Anyone requiring more information in use of the scheme or becoming a volunteer driver, should contact the co-ordinators on 01485 544544.

Bus Services

Dersingham is served by half-hourly buses operated between King's Lynn and Hunstanton by Eastern Counties. Timetables are available in the Dersingham Library or the Post Office; or by telephoning the county bus information service (NORBIC) on 0845 300 6116.
